    Bills Interviewing OL Coaches

    Mike Solari, OL coach of the 49ers and Chris Foerster, OL coach for the Redskins.

    I don't know much about either of these guys, but any thoughts? With all the young O-linemen on this team and how poorly the whole line played this past season it seems like a pretty important hire.

    The Washington Redskins granted permission for the Buffalo Bills to interview Redskins offensive line coach Chris Foerster for the same position.

    Get Russ Grimm out of retirement and beg him to come to Buffalo.

    If you're looking to build attitude in your Oline and are going to become a run heavy team...there isn't one better.

        And all of them had great running games. Sign him up.

          Solari would make the most sense, since he and Roman have worked together for the past 3 (4??) years. They'd be on the same page immediately.

            I'd be fine with Solari.

              I'm liking the way they are going about things. Both guys have history, with either Roman or Ryan, or both. They are also experienced guys. I saw something on wiki about one of them, that said he had changed to a ZBS over the last few years, and tbh, that is a plus point in my view, the more familiarity a guy has with all schemes, the better. Can't remember which one it was though.

                Does Roman run a zone blocking scheme? Would that suit the current O-line better?

                  I'm pretty sure SF does a lot of zone blocking. Not as much as Houston and Baltimore but more than most other teams.

                  That being said we have 2 players on OL who fit that scheme. Glenn and Wood.

                    Hard to answer. No, maybe, and yes due to Roman/Solari.

                    From the Rumblings breakdown :

                    The run blocking will be much different, as well; the 49ers attacked defenders with pulling blockers on counters, whams, and then would throw in zone-read looks as well. It is a lot for a front seven to prepare for.
                    Roman has probably the most complex run game in the NFL. You will see some inside and outside zone running plays, but you mainly see "big man" run plays like power, counter, trap, and iso. What made them complex was that they would run them out of any formation and personnel grouping. Another hallmark of Roman's 49ers running game: they were very sound on the blocking angles that they took, which made their blocks more effective.
                    Greg Roman is now running the Buffalo Bills' offense, and fans can expect big changes in how their favorite team goes about running the football.


                    Solari is one of the best in the biz, SF fans do not want to lose him, best choice : Solari

                    Make him an offer he cannot refuse, he is from the Bay area and will not want to leave it.
